I don't get what a dynamic URL is?
-
I have a whole bunch of them and I have no idea how I created them. I just make titles, that's it. Nothin' fancy.

Hi
Nice photos by the way
How do you arrive at the pages with the dynamic URLs? Try signing out of WordPress and viewing the site while not logged in.
You have the canonical tag in place, so honestly, there is no duplicate content issue. I'm just curious how you discovered the different URLs? That's not usually something a normal user browsing the site will see, at least not what I've seen with WordPress anyway.

EDIT: It just occurred to me, you probably found these URLs in the SEOmoz campaign tools?

I don't know how they're creating themselves? It's like 1 post has several of them?!
Cindy and Jeff’s Wonderful White, Yellow and Silver Beach Wedding
Slideshow « Cindy and Jeff’s Wonderful White, Yellow and Silver Beach Wedding
Cindy and Jeff’s Wonderful White, Yellow and Silver Beach Wedding
(etc etc.)
And btw... I don't intentionally have a slideshow set up, but I do have Next Gen on my site?

A dynamic URL usually has something called a query string. In your URL, it's everything after the ? and is typically used to pass data to a programming language.
Some sites use mod_rewrite to change them to look less program related
It's important to note that ANY change in the query string will make Google see that page as distinct, even if there's nothing else different. If you have an issue with this type of duplication you should use canonical to narrow down your pages to just those with distinct content.
If you're adding titles (like to a Wordpress blog) it's possible that you're creating pages and your CMS program makes URLs based on titles

Is that what you're referring to?

Pages with URL Too Long
Hello Mozzers! MOZ keeps kindly telling me the URLs are too long. However, this is largely due to the structure of E-commerce site, which has to include 'brand' 'range' and 'products' keyword. For example -

https://www.choicefurnituresuperstore.co.uk/Devonshire-Rustic-Oak-Bedside-Cabinet-1-Drawer-p40668.html MOZ recommends no more than 75 characters. This means we have 25-30 characters for both the brand name and product name. Questions:
If it is an issue, how to fix it on my site?
If it's not an issue, how can we turn off this alert from MOZ?
Anyone know how big an issue URLs are as a ranking factor? I thought pretty low.0 -
Page with "Missing Title Tag" isn't a page
Hello, I am going through the various errors that the Moz Pro Crawl report and some non-existent pages keep coming up in the report. For example, one error category is "Missing Title Tag" with one page identified. But this page http://www.immigroup.com/news/“http%3A/crs.yorku.ca”?page=2 isn't real. It would have been a 404 were there not a redirect for everything that is /news/gobbledygook to /news. So my question is: when moz (or GA for that matter) identifies these pages as "real" and having errors, do I need to take this seriously? And what do I do about it? Thanks! George

Domain Authority: Sites with lower numbers get higher ranking.
We had a question about your online tools for http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns/30642 The Domain Authority for http://pucherinsurance.com/ is 67: Higher than most of our competitors such as <cite><cite>bluecross.ca which has a rank of 54. </cite> </cite> We show up lower in the actual search results. An example phrase would be Visitors to Canada health Insurance. We get an A grade for onsite reports and we are working on the duplicate content and titles. We appear to be doing everything right but still rank lower than expected. Any thoughts?
